i can't edit the post anymore, but you can send both the certificate of no marriage and notary authentication to the secretary of state at the same time.

-You do the affidavit of single status, get it notarized. see link below from the consulate for a sample.

-Certificate of No-marriage Records - Get it from the County recorder in your county. Then send it to your Secretary of State from your State to get it certified.

-Get norary authentification from the county recorder.

-Then send certificate of no marriage records and notary authentification from the county recorder to your Secretary of State from your State to get it certified. the embassy can only certify state level signatures.

-Notarized copy of your passport

-If divorced or widowed then you need certified divorce decree or certified death certificate.

Send everything to the embassy, they will do the translation into Vietnamese and provide the cover page and stamp it.

if you need to know where to get the certificate of no marriage and the secretary or state info, it's pretty easy to find online, but if you still have trouble, post your county and state that you reside in, I can find the contact info for you.

Well now isn't that easy thank a lot

30-40 days is the normal time frame. doing it yourself can be faster, you can have things expedited 7-10 days, but it may cost more and be more work. the certificate of no marriage and notary authentication can usually be done in person at the county recorder, the authentication by Sec of State can also usually be done in person, that can both be done on the same day. then, embassy expedited service which can be delivered and picked up in person on the same day as the other things, so 7-10 days.
